Joseph I. Lieberman

Resolution To Censure Joseph I. Lieberman

Whereas Joseph I. Lieberman sought re-election
in 2006 as an independent after losing the Demo-
cratic primary; and

Whereas he has publicly endorsed and actively
campaigned on behalf of Republican Presidential
candidate John McCain, among others; and

Whereas he has attended and addressed the
Republican National Convention thereby under-
cutting the election campaigns of Democratic
candidates all across America; and

Whereas support of right-wing Republicans
cannot be reconciled with the ideals and values
of the Democratic Party, nor with the best
interests of the people of America; and

Whereas these actions exhibit extraordinary
disloyalty to the countless Connecticut Demo-
crats without whom his career as an elected
official would never have been possible;

Therefore, be it hereby resolved, that we, the
undersigned members of the Connecticut
Democratic State Central Committee, delegates
to the Democratic National Convention from
Connecticut, and Connecticut Democratic
public officials publicly censure and repudiate
the words and actions of Joseph I. Lieberman,
and ask of him that he resign as a member
of the Democratic Party of the state of Connecticut.
